Bandsaw tire question

[Sparky Paessler]

I have tires to put on the bandsaw that I am restoring but have a question about how they fit. My wheels have an arched part with short wall on each side. Does the tire go between these walls like in the "A" drawing (I will have to cut the tires to width) or does it sit on top like in drawing "B". I would think that "A" was correct but though I would ask all the bandsaw experts here before I cut the new tires.

Thanks Sparky

Your drawing didn't show up, but th4e tires should go between the raised areas. Suffolk machine, Suppliers of Timber Wolf Blades also can supply you with urethane tires. They will need to know the wheel size and width. Just make sure you have at least three hands when you go to install their tires on the wheels otherwise, it will be a very long afternoon. DAMHIKT.

Hi Lee
Thanks for the info that is what I thought too but I got replacement tires from sears for this saw and they were too wide. PS I fixed the picture I hope.
